Vortex Generators are fitted on both sides of the base of the Fin, on Tornado Aircraft, to generate a turbulence, so that the Rudder has an effect at altitude, otherwise the Rudder is flying in a vacuum, and has no effect on the stability of the aircraft, causing judder, with possible buckling of the spine to occur.
What else can I help you with?
Why is it some aircraft wing are fitted with vortex generators and some are not?
It is a technology that takes time to be built. Older aircraft are very difficult to modify due to safety rules and insane cost levels. These two things make sure not every airplane looks the same.
Where the Black Box is fitted in an aircraft?

How were Cannons fitted to World War 2 aircraft?
It depends on what you classify as 'cannons' . Many aircraft were fitted with 20mm guns in exactly the same way as machine guns were. Some aircraft such as the Stuka, some other German aircraft and a few British aircraft were fitted with larger guns of 37- 40-mm calibre and these were often carried in pods under the wings and had very limited ammunition due to it's weight.
Is there Wi-Fi on Delta Airlines?
Delta has more Wi-fi equipped aircraft than anyone else as of Oct 2013. Not all aircrfact are fitted at the moment. This is especially the case with regional aircraft such as the CRJ200. Also, Wi-Fi does not currently work over the ocean but they are switching to a satellite based system so that eventually all aircraft will be fitted with this facility.
Why are tires of an aircraft made slightly conducting?
This is to disperse static electricity ween the aircraft lands. Many aircraft also have 'static wicks' which are bits of wire fitted to the trailing edge of wings.
What is the device that is used to stabilize rockets and airplanes?
Most aircraft are fitted with a gyroscope which is used to maintain orientation while an aircraft is changing direction or climbing and descending.
What is the service ceiling of an aircraft?
You need to be specific with this, which aircraft, which variant of the aircraft, right down to which engines are fitted, what load you are carrying etc etc etc Any change to this data will change the service ceiling.
How do you stop the 747 aircraft after landing?
All aircraft are fitted with brakes (much like a car) -however - with large aircraft, the pilot can set the engines to 'reverse thrust' which brings the plane to a stop quickly.
What is the safety of airbus?
Airbus aircraft are fitted with modern equipment and have a very good reputation for comfort and saftey
What was the Spirit of Saint Louis used for?

Do they have wall jacks on delta airline?
Yes, wall outlets are progressively being fitted to the Delta aircraft fleet.
When was the first Artificial Horizon instrument fitted to a British Fighter aircraft?
The first Artificial Horizon instrument was fitted to a British fighter aircraft in 1925. This innovation was part of the advancements in aviation technology that improved pilots' ability to navigate and maintain level flight, especially in poor visibility conditions. The implementation of the artificial horizon marked a significant step in enhancing flight safety and operational capabilities for military aircraft.
